  James, I plan on walking into your place of business and disrupting it along with my fellow greys. Don't call the cops, because it is our right to do so.

  That is because the video omits what happened before or it is out of sight. It lacks context. Moreover, those people were inside the bank, not out on the sidewalk.

  I worked at a finance company in the late 1990s. We had a person that would come in and try to pay a loan with a five gallon bucket full of pennies while screaming at the customer service rep and everybody else. We told him to pay in the mail, and that if he came in again, we'd call the cops.

  These people walked in wanting trouble. They got what they came in for.

  Then keep your money in a mattress.

  “A large amount of protesters entered our branch at 555 La Guardia Place around 2:00 PM today. They were very disruptive and refused to leave after being repeatedly asked, causing our staff to call 911. The Police asked the branch staff to close the branch until the protesters could be removed. Only one person asked to close an account and was accommodated.”

  Perhaps in the past - but today is today. The times are a changing apparently.

  Find me one case of someone walking into a bank to close their account without riot-like behavior getting arrested. Just one.

  Naturally those who support right wing control methods would discredit these videos.

  You think the video is BS? You support right wing control methods!

  What a horrible way to paint anyone that disagrees with a very nasty brush.

  Nobody gets arrested for closing their bank account--and you know it.

  But go walk into a bank and raise a ruckus and watch what happens.

  Go walk into any private business and do so and you will have LEO or private security called in to remove you.

  So you think the banks will treat YOU fairly and give you a fair share if the economy crashes and a run is made on the banks like in 1929

  Four letters: FDIC.

  All Federally chartered banks are required to carry insurance on deposits with the FDIC amd accounts are guaranteed up to 250k. There can be no bank run like in 1929. The funds are guaranteed. We've had hundreds of bank failures since the beginning of the recession and no depositor has lost a cent. They liquidate the banks. I've picked up a lot of computer equipment at FDIC auctions when they do so.

  since leaving all organized religion, all superstition, all acceptance of deity, i have a terrible time truly understanding 'religious' thought.. i really do.. how is it possible for thinking people to just accept, without proof, all they accept?

  this morning i overheard a conversation between two christians in a coffee shop.

  they say to me 'dad, what's wrong with just being a nice, good person?

  Prove that Christianity, or whatever religion you pick, has not been responsible for more bloodshed and war than any other social force in history.

  Well, that is one that is quantifiable, and easy to prove. Psac provided a source:

  If you want numbers and stats, you can read "the irrational atheist" by Vox Day.

  Regardless of whether you agree or disagree with his views, he does show STATS and Numbers.

  http://www.miller-mccune.com/culture/myth-of-the-modern-religious-war-34617/

  To determine whether any of these authors are on the right track, my students and I looked at Kalevi J. Holsti’s 1991 book Peace and War: Armed Conflicts and International Order, 1648-1989. Holsti analyzes all international conflicts over the last several centuries, classifying the issues of conflict.

  In looking at religious wars in Holsti’s time frame, we coded all cases involving any religious component, from unification and irridenta to protecting religious confreres, and identified 16 religious wars.

  More than half of them were between the Ottoman Empire and European nations (1600s-1800s) over protecting Christian pilgrims on the way to the sites in the Holy Land. These were one-way disputes, with the European Christian country pursuing claims while Turkey didn’t seem to have a problem with the status quo. For those since World War II (India-Pakistan, Israel-Arab, Biafra-Nigeria and Syria-Lebanon), none, according to Holsti, had religion as the primary rationale for fighting, even if the wars were advertised as such.

  To establish a baseline for comparing religious conflicts with other reasons why countries fight, we gathered information on three additional issues where Holsti collects data: real estate (territorial disputes), riches (battles over resources), and regimes (where one country attempts to replace another country’s government with one it prefers). Like the religion analysis, this involved bundling several of Holsti’s issues under a broader category for each issue of conflict, since many if not most wars have multiple issues. The results are listed below:

  For every Einstein or John Nash or Mark Twain or Stephen Hawking that has come along, there are likely a thousand who have been buried in the morass of foolish 'faith and belief' and have put aside the wonderful gifts they could have used in their brains to aid our species - to rid us of cancer, find a cure for malaria, or a mathematical formula that unlocks technology that could aid our planet and it's life.

  Do you realize how many of the great thinkers, scientists, artists, writers, philosophers and inventors of history have held some form of spiritual faith?

  These things aren't mutually exclusive.

  And what Mary said. Well said, Mary.

  I watched the video, and I also call BS on the allegation that people got arrested for merely closing their accounts or withdrawing their cash. This looks like a an effort by a group of people to cause some kind of disruption inside the bank. Nobody gets arrested for merely closing out their bank account.

  Folks in the top 0.1% come from many backgrounds but it's infrequent to meet one whose wealth wasn't acquired through direct or indirect participation in the financial and banking industries.

  This is a very significant statement. We've replaced technological innovation with financial innovation. The result has been a huge misallocation of capital in the US economy, of which we are suffering a hangover currently.

  #1 We need a stable money supply (not rampant monetary inflation the benefits of which accrue to the top .1 percent first).*

  #2 We need a greatly simplified tax code.

  *Please keep in mind this chart uses a log scale. It would look exponential without it.
